@gina-RO@Bree-RO@scared01@Nightruner23 and everyone else, well guys, I’m sad to say that my bf broke up with me, as I’m not bisexual like I thought, I’m DEMISEXUAL

hey @Cheeseburger i'm sorry to hear that you and your boyfriend split 😞 that's sounds like a very rough situation to deal with right now. I just wanted to say i'm proud of you though, for finding a label that works for you and that you feel comfortable with Heart

@ecla34 it’s very painful that he left me bcuz of my sexuality, as I was willing to stick with him even tho he was, bisexual, but I’m trying to stay strong

ecla34Posted 04-02-2019 03:55 PM
@Cheeseburger that does sounds really painful, especially as you've been supportive of his sexuality. I really admire the courage you're showing Heart If you ever feel like you need some additional support from the community for your relationship, please feel welcome to make a thread to talk about it too xx

@ecla34 it’s painful bcuz I have no one who can see past my sexuality, well unless u count my ex/boyfriend, whose now my best best best best friend, I sent my ex boyfriend a msg last night and he hasn’t even read it😭😭💔💔 and what sucks the most is that he’s got a new girlfriend

Aww man @Cheeseburger, that doesn't sound fun at all. It is nice that you still are comfortable enough to stay close friends, and able to still keep a sense of humour. I think that's a really healthy mindset to tackle this with.

 

If you don't mind me asking, do you know why you might gravitate towards a really specific sexuality label, like demisexual? Just really interested I suppose, I come from a place where I'm hesitant to label how I am attracted, so I'm not that familiar with it all. Smiley LOL

@nyke the reason I label myself that is bcuz I have all the signs of being demisexual, I don’t like labelling myself either, but I’m attracted to guys, girls, transgenders, bisexuals, and pansexuals, which is another thing, that points to being demisexual

That's interesting @Cheeseburger! I would have thought they you could be gay / straight and still be attracted to trans / bi / pan people because they are still male / female or have strong male / female characteristics. It's really only the non-binary identity that doesn't fit that mold I think?

An interesting side thing that's sorta related; I follow some FtM trans people on YT and I noticed that I always find them quite attractive once they start tetosterone. [i]It makes sense[/i], but it's also a very weird change to observe. xD

I tend to become more attracted to FtM trans people a few months [i]after[/i] they start taking tetosterone

@nyke it’s painful as I keep losing my friends because of my sexuality, I only have one person whose stood by me, and that’s my best best friend

 

 

ik that I’m attracted to guys, girls and bisexuals, I just never realised I was attracted to pansexuals, or transgenders until now, it feels weird that I’m attracted to them, but I guess it’s what happens when I actually start paying attention to my sexuality

 

 

 

It’s painful as all I ever wanted was to fit into the world but I guess, I’m always going to be seen differently, it’s gonna be hard, I’m just glad that I have a place where I can explain how things are with my sexuality

Hey @Cheeseburger.

I know it can be hard to lose people for any reason, but especially when it is something you cannot change (nor should you have to!). Stay strong. You will eventually find your tribe and people who will accept you for who you are. 

 

Also, thank you for teaching me what demisexual was! I totally did not understand the definition until now. 🙂

@peacelovepizza ur welcome, I’ve only got one person who hasn’t changed since I came out and told them that I’m demisexual, and that’s my best friend, other then him and my family I have no one, I feel invincible to the world, and to my “friends” it’s painful that they see me differently now

Hey @scared01@ecla34@nyke@peacelovepizza@Bree-RO I’m telling my friends that I’m bisexual as I’m attracted to girls and boys, and transgenders, it’s easier to explain to ppl, and some demisexuals call themselves bi or pansexual

It’s worth a shot @Cheeseburger! See how you feel after a week. I was thinking, just like how each person makes friends in different ways, I reckon each person will develop an attraction in a different way than others as well.

@nyke I’ve sorta started realising that when I start talking to ppl, it’s there personality that I fall for

I think that’s quite healthy @Cheeseburger! Ultimately it’s a person’s character that matters most

@nyke That’s what my parents say, if I didn’t have my parents and they hated me for being like this, I would’ve given up
